@eviljimsmonnkey and @Mkjarred - hmmmmmmmmmmmm Senso employees perhaps?

If you are talking about Unify I contacted RM support and told them I wanted to defederate. They sent me instructions which I followed. I then set up Azure Connect as per MS instructions and it all just carried on syncing.

But these are the things that are achievable without extra cost with adfs

This is actually a surprisingly hard question because it does so much for us that we just take for granted now. As a NM it is the provisioning of staff and students which can be a laborious task, especially when people just turn up at your door and you have no idea who they are. More importantly the archiving of user accounts when they fall off roll or their contract lapses. Salamander also does the heavy lifting for Google Classroom and calendar syncing. Have a search around edugeek, there is much love for salamander. Support is spot on too. You will still need to provision your users up in o365 or Google even if you use Salamander. As I said I followed the RM Unify instructions to defederate and then installed Azure Connect and set that syncing. I can't comment on your set up but for us worked fine.

Because they are an awesome company and value their customers. It is also the best thing since sliced bread. I consider it my third technician. Saves weeks of time for us which is worth more than the license fee.

That was my worry too but I managed to unfederate and resync using Azure connect and it all works fine. You can also use Azure AD to provision licences

We were paying close to 2.5k in total for unify. Will check the invoices. I was discusted

Sorry meant to say rip it out. We use Azure connect to sync AD now for free. No adfs but we do use adfs else where. It was federated which was actually fairly easy to pair apart whilst keeping data and users. We are a gsuite school predominantly now using gcds to sync

One of the first things I did when I became nm at my current school. We were paying close to 2.5k just to sync users to o365.

Somerset if anybody is interested. Steve Prentice I salute you.

I asked our LA if we could move the registrar for our .sch.uk domain. They offered to delegate access in Azure DNS to me. Snapped their hands off to take this up.

If you are running win 10 look at "AlwaysOn vpn". Direct access is being depreciated and this is its replacement. It's awesome and easier to set up than DA

Actually our quota is 1Eb lol

STM dux are very good. Educational discount to be had too. Try someone like western computer or jigsaw24

"at a later time" you're welcome.

Hi all Just for info really as I found a solution. Called this into smoothwall and support agent was adamant it was not an issue with smoothwall. Agent whitelisted docs.google.com but issue remained. On my VM outside of SW there was no issue. Agent still adament it was us. Turning off SSL inspection on docs.google.com did the trick but isn't ideal. This was fine before moving to leeds-1 so something has changed in smoothwall to highlight this issue. Let's see if I lose a support credit for fixing my own issue. Hope this helps someone else.

So no logging or accountability as per prevent duties?

+1 for this. 815 quid well spent a year. Zero touch once set up. Unused to spend weeks every year entering bookings and correcting my mistakes

I think the op is saying don't go for 7th gen as it won't run win 7 and have no migration plan yet. I agree with everyone else though. SSD and ram. I use an i3 2nd gen at work. Does all I need at a quick enough speed. No point upgrading yet.

Hi guys Anybody else getting this with G Suite recently? Google Docs seems to go offline for around 10 seconds sporadically. It's enough for it to become a pain as sometimes it loses changes you have made. Other times you just cannot do anything. Nothing has changed filter wise (Smoothwall) recently configuration wise. We did upgrade to Leeds 1 release of Smoothwall on 13th April but not sure that caused this. Nothing obvious in firewall/filter logs grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr TIA Mark

Should have read the whole thread. Doh

If you use apple school manager and you bought them from a reseller that is able to add them to the device enrollment program ask them to add them to your school manager account. You then don't need proof of purchase as the reseller has essentially done this for you. You then need to contact enterprise support and they will remove the account.
